Ex-equalities watchdog head β€˜confused’ by Nigel Farage response to racism claims β€˜Why can’t he just offer an unreserved apology for any distress caused?’, Baroness Falkner said

I’m similar age to Farage, went to state & public schools, was in cadets too & it never occurred to me to joke about gas chambers or go sssss mimicking one

It was beyond crass & unacceptable

As Augustine and Hostetler (2023) write:

β€œOur current, extractive economy is doing what it was designed to do. If we use an extractive economy to fight climate change, we will simply change what we extract: minerals rather than fossil fuels. The purpose will remain the same: to extract…” [1/2]

Since 2019, the NHS has spent more money on maternity negligence claims than the entire NHS maternity budget for same period.

Investment now in maternity services will reap rewards very quickly.

The Government does not need to wait for the Amos review to start making a change.

ICE agent arrested, held on β€˜no bond’ order at prosecutor’s request Samuel Saxon is charged with felonious assault, strangulation and domestic violence.He pleaded not guilty to all counts.

An ICE agent has been arrested for putting a woman in a chokehold and causing β€œserious physical harm”

Police said they had been called to the residence 22 times

It’s time we talk about what kind of men are attracted to being ICE agents

Hint: It’s men who would strangle a woman

I look at my P60s and then at my direct debits.
My wages went up under inflation or higher when I moved on to next job.
I pay much more for utilities, council tax, car, food now than in 2008.
Tories shafted us but the squeezed middle is still being squeezed.
And let’s not forget Brexit.

Chornobyl isn’t safe anymore... again
YouTube video by Kyiv Independent Chornobyl isn’t safe anymore... again

Chornobyl disaster occurred in the early hours of April 26, 1986. Russia’s brazen attack on the $2 billion New Safe Confinement (the sarcophagus enclosing the destroyed reactor) in February 2025 poses a new potential radioactive danger as engineers race to repair the damage.

I urge you to note here how much of British politics and media - and indeed British culture in general - is just bullying, and little more. It’s a daily exercise in enforcing the social hierarchy by reminding everyone who they can and cannot kick. That’s why our most famous sitcoms are like that.

#NotOnBBCNews

They have reported this but normally such allegations have to be investigated within a year of occurence so what's going to happen? I'm guessing nothing. Meanwhile it distracts from fascism allegations, taking Russian money, promoting Russian narratives and umpteen council scandals.
